Haven’t heard of any reason why, apart from the obvious lack of demand for all 3 of the satellites.
Sat 2 offers more flexibility in regards to inbound/outbound domestic/international splits, can be walked to via domestics if required (so TTS could be turned off if required) also then allows for cargo aircraft to park on the Alphas next to sat 1 as well.
